1st Feby 1776.
Gentn
The inclosed memorandum was intended to be delivered
personally to Mr Chase whilst in Baltimore Town, but his
going away sooner than we expected prevented its being
done. We should be obliged to you to advert to the Con-
tents thereof as if addressed to all the Deputies and be pleased
to give us an Answer as soon as you can with Convenience
to yourselves.
We find that Blanketts, Strouds, Camp Equipage & Cannon,
to say nothing of Powder, will be much wanted and we doubt
are not to be procured in this Province.
When any Thing occurs in the News-way, we should be glad
to have a line from you and are Yr most &c.

(The following is a copy of the inclosed Memorandum above
mentioned.)

Mr Chase is requested by the Council of Safety to furnish
them with the Price and Dimensions of the Chevaux de frize
lately made at Philadelphia
To inform them whether any Thing and what has been done
in Congress in consequence of a Resolve of the late Conven-
tion relative to the Canvass imported into the Province by
Mr Juge, a Foreigner.
Whether Messrs Willing and Morris have received a Letter
from Messrs Chamberlain, Hooe and Ringgold, or either of
them, advising them that this Province would receive 5 Tons
of the Salt-Petre imported by said Willing & Morris, manufac-
tured into Gun-Powder in part discharge of the Powder to be
furnished by them and whether they have taken any Measures
in consequence of it.
Whether there are any Match coat Blanketts or Stroud to
be got in Philadelphia or New York, and to transmit the
Plates and Paper directed by the Money Bill to be procured
at Philadelphia, as soon as possible.
